Fiumicino - "Leonardo da Vinci" (FCO)
Rome's main airport is well-connected to the center during the day by a direct train and slower trains. The direct train between Fiumicino and Termini costs € 9,50 and takes approximately 30 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at vending machines, ticket offices and other vendors at both Termini and Fiumicino.

There is another train connecting Fiumicino airport to central Rome - when you are at the airport train station look for the train with the destination "Orte" or "Fara Sabina". It is slower (and cheaper) because it stops at some smaller local stations along the way and does not stop at Termini. Trains take about 45 minutes to reach Tiburtina. Tickets cost €5,00.
schedule: every 15-30 minutes
Fiumicino Airport - Trastevere - Ostiense - Tiburtina from 5.57am until 11.27pm
Tiburtina - Ostiense - Trastevere - Fiumicino Airport from 5.06am until 10.36pm.

Ciampino - "G.B. Pastine" (CIA)A smaller airport dealing mainly with charter flights and budget airlines. It is connected to Line A metro station Anagnina (about 30 mins by metro from Termini) by Cotral buses; ticket costs € 1,03. Buses leave every 30-60 minutes

Most Inter-city trains arrive at Termini Station. A few trains, particularly those arriving at night, arrive at Tiburtina or Ostiense stations

Termini Station
The hub of Rome's transport system can be confusing when you first arrive, but the following explanations of its layout should help you get oriented. Once you have got off the train and have walked down the platform, you will reach the main gallery. The exit by platform 1 will take you to the north side of Termini; the exit by platform 22 will take you to the south side of Termini. Continuing away from the platforms past the main gallery, you will reach the main hall. Exiting from the main hall you will find Piazza dei Cinquecento, the largest bus terminal in Rome, where the access to the city's two metro (subway) lines, A and B is also located. The night bus to Fiumicino airport stops here as well, although you'll have to look very hard for the sign.

Tiburtina station
The second biggest train station in Rome, easily accessible by bus and metro (Line B) from the center. The slower (and cheaper) train and night bus to Fiumicino airport leave from here. Facilities at the station include a 24 hour supermarket and exchange office. Across the piazza in front of the station you will find the buses that depart for destinations all over Italy and abroad. The ticket offices are located in the piazza and around the corner on Circonvallazione Nomentana. From Termini: Line B stop Tiburtina or Bus 492. From Termini: Line B stop Tiburtina or Bus 492

Tiburtina station is the main bus terminal in Rome.
To reach the center from Tiburtina take metro line B in the direction of Termini, or bus 492 from the piazza in front of the station.

If you are on the A1 highway from the north, take the exit called "Roma nord" . If you are on the A1 from the south, take the exit "Roma est". Both of these exits, after a few kilometers, take you to the GRA (Grande Raccordo Anulare), the ring road which surrounds the city linking the highways and the "strade statali" (state roads, marked as "SS"). The most important for the traveller are:
-the Via Aurelia (Pisa , Livorno, Genoa)
-the Via Cassia (Viterbo, Siena)
-the Via Flaminia (Umbria)
-the Via Tiburtina (Tivoli)
-the Via Appia Nuova (Ciampino airport, Castelli Romani)
-the Via Pontina (Latina, Sabaudia, Circeo, Sperlonga)
-the Via Cristoforo Colombo (Ostia)
From the GRA you will also find the exit for the Autostrada di Fiumicino leading to Leonardo da Vinci airport and that to the A24 highway to Abruzzi (Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Pescara).

Non-resident cars are not allowed to drive in the historical center. If you are bringing a car to Rome, we recommend that you park it in the Termini or Vatican area and use public transportation (or you own two feet) to explore the historical center.

The other option is the "parcheggi di scambio", Parking lots located by metro stations a bit farther away from the historical centre (like Anagnina and Cinecittà on line A, or Ponte Mammolo on line B). From there you can simply take the metro into the center. At € 1,50 per day, the parking is very economical, but the lots are unattended
